Lohan Tweets: I Saved 40 Children

By PopEater Staff Posted Dec 12th 2009 08:15AM

After reports that Lindsay Lohan was heading to India to film a BBC documentary about child trafficking, she twittered, "Count your blessings.... Please try and do something to make a difference for others." According to UK's Daily Mail, the 'Mean Girls' star even claimed she saved 40 Indian children in just one day.

Whether she's doing it out of the the kindness and charity in her heart (which we think is true) or simply as a PR stunt to tweak her "party girl" image (what others think), one thing is for sure: Lohan is out to make a difference.

And in another twitter message she wrote, "Focusing on celebrities and lies is so disconcerting when we can be changing the world one child at a time.... hope everyone can see that," Lohan added.

The star also added that the trip was the 'most amazing time of my life' and mentioned the work of Bachpan Bachao Andolan (Save the Childhood Movement), a charity which works against child trafficking. Among the places she has been, Lindsay visited the SANLAAP (women and children's charity) home in Kolkata and will also be visiting local hospitals to give toys to sick children.

I agree with you all, she looks awful in that photo - but to actually "tweet" that she "saved" 40 children, with her money, she could do more. 40 Children in one incident, is not all that much. How about buying food for the starving children in Africa. Save the women and children in Darfur, from being Collateral Damage to a war of greed and fear mongering. That's saving. Give to the local rescue mission so the families within can be sure to have a meal and a place to sleep. How about donating books to a local school to help fight illiteracy. Take all the Giving Tree tags and buy toys for those children who won't have much this year for Christmas. Give coats to all those children, then you will have done something worthwhile.

As far as I'm concerned, the "tweeting" is just publicity seeking - do the real thing, truly give to help others less fortunate and don't "tweet" about it, is the true way of "saving".

Maybe Lilo is finally waking up!Yes it could be for publicity, but maybe with her growing up in the land of the have all you wants and then going to a place like that is giving her a huge reality check and she is seeing how selfish she's been and how small her personal world really is.This could be the best thing in the world for her.Maybe she will get well and learn to be less self centered and realize that others in the big huge world have it so much worse then most all of us.Maybe she's finally having an Angelina moment and her life will improve.

Whatever small things you can do to help others is appreciated. Live while you can, do good while you can. Thank you Lohan.

More liberal insanity. After doing all she can to set a horrid example for American kids, she seeks public redemption by joining the chorus of hedonistic saints trapsing around the third world. What do they actually do? Probably not much that isn't being done by less heralded agencies. This all boils down to self indulgent part time Mother Theresa BS. If it can be shown that she saves one chld not already slated for salvation by real heroes, I will congratulate her then.

I am sorry, but there are so many other "celebs" out there that do good and don't find it necessary to flaunt it all over the internet. I have a hard time believing her intentions are true. She knows she has to save face for all her prior years of silliness and get her career back on track somehow. It's too bad she had to show off her supposed charity work/pr stunt.

Why do all these celebs go overseas to save the homeless and hungry? We have almost as many as the rest of the world in this country that are going hungry and have no jobs. Charity begins at home.

I get the not flaunting it thing but if this is whatever it takes to bring trafficking into the light and to stop it then she can flaunt it all she wants. I don't give a crap about her but the child selling needs to stop.
